If you’re interested in how I approach writing historical fiction, check out this piece I wrote for LitHub. It was really fun to think about the process and the things I love about it.

[Literary Hub @lithub]

“It’s not a job for the faint of heart, or the impatient. But for those of us with brains that crave this kind of work, it is bliss.” @gem_tizz breaks down the challenges (and rewards) of researching for historical fiction.

Thank you so much!

[Anita Frank @Ajes74]

#GraceoftheEmpireState by @gem_tizz is a wonderful story of courage, sacrifice, resilience and love set against the perils of depression-era New York. Heart-warming, romantic, and on times utterly nerve-wracking, I loved every minute of it!

This is excellent. Listen to Will. 📚

[Will Dean @willrdean]

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵

1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.
